Legal Question in Technology Law in India

Dear Sir, I am a music composer. Yesterday, I composed a music tune. I sent the .mp3 file of this music tune to a friend using gmail. If in future, my friend publishes this music file / any other person whom my friend has forwarded my music file to, publishes my music file, without my permission and/or without giving me credit, could I put up a successful legal case against my friend or any other person ? Thanks in advance.
